Values are presented as mean (s.d.) or median (Q1; Q3) unless stated otherwise.

aOther indications include chronic renal failure/chronic kidney disease, short stature/slow growth and other; bnon-GHD includes patients with missing GHD origin.

GH, growth hormone; GHD, growth hormone deficiency; s.d., standard deviation; SDS, standard deviation score; SGA, small for gestational age.
